About

Boingo Electro is a freeware sketch of a neat little game idea by Dadgum Games. As a little wild-haired fellow named Boingo, you hop about to project pulsing power jewels from deadly electric raindrops while avoiding electrocution. Don't let the freeware label fool you; it's addictive. This is the original 1.1 release, predating the 1.1.2 documentation refresh.GameplayBoingo bounces around the play field, launching pulses at glowing power jewels overhead. Constant rain of electric drops threatens to fry him on contact, so movement and timing are everything.From Dadgum GamesWritten by James Hague of Dadgum Games and released as freeware. Hague described it as a quick experiment, but the loop of jumping, firing, and dodging proved surprisingly compelling.RequirementsBoingo Electro requires a Power Macintosh. The build is PowerPC native; there is no 68k version.Version NoteThis is the original 1.1 archive. A later 1.1.2 maintenance release updated only the contact information in the bundled documentation; the game itself was not changed between these builds.
